Earth Overshoot Day

I dislike the concept of "natural resource budgets" and their ilk which is why I didn't post this link about Earth Overshoot Day when it first appeared. However, the underlying message is an important one - we are increasingly denuding the world of resources that really should  be there for our children, grandchildren and their descendants. Frankly it is shameful that in this country we consume, on the basis used in the article, at 3 times a sustainable level.
